Men's Hosiery

Hosiery has been around since we humans managed to work out how to
create fabric tubes, and that was quite a long time ago, my
paleolithic spirit guide Og tells me. Men should therefore, never be
ashamed of the desire to slip into a pair of tights, pantyhose or
other legging type garments, they're not women's clothing, they're
people's clothing and the desire to wear such garments may very well
be encoded into our DNA.

After all, only the smartest and most resourceful humans were
initially able to create the fabric tubes, or convince someone else
to make the fabric tubes on their behalf. It therefore makes sense
that mankind should have a deep seated respect for those among us who
wear bifurcated tube-like leggings. Never be ashamed of the desire to
wear hosiery. It is a deep seated desire without which mankind may
never have developed more advanced technologies, like denim jeans and
democracy.

So then, what hosiery can men wear? The short answer is of course,
any of it! There are certain manufacturers such as Comfilon that make
hosiery specifically for men, so if the idea of wearing 'women's'
clothing is all a bit much for you, it is very possible to purchase
hosiery specifically for men. It's pretty much the same as other
hosiery however and once you have it on there's not a huge difference
to be seen, but if it makes you feel better then why not just go for
it.

Alternatively, you can run amok in the hosiery section of your
local department store. This will be typified by pictures of women
wearing the stockings but as I discussed in my previous article, If
Lingerie Is For Men Then Why Are All The Pictures Of Women, just because there's a lady on the box doesn't mean you can't wear it
too.

If you're hoping to get away with
wearing hosiery without anyone noticing at all, then sheer stockings
and pantyhose are your best bet. Pantyhose is perhaps the easiest
first type of hosiery for a man because it can be worn much like
trousers and doesn't stick halfway up your thigh or require a garter
belt like stockings do. On the other hand, if you're wearing your
hosiery under business attire, then a dark opaque stocking or
pantyhose may be your best bet. Why? Because opaque stockings are
fairly indistinguishable from socks at a distance. There's also quite
a range of patterned stockings and pantyhose out there that will add
to the illusion of sockness if you so desire.

The world of hosiery is a large one,
and if you are just beginning to explore it then you have a most
excellent journey ahead of you. Enjoy it!
